AU, A Vision

Tassadar500 · August 24, 2003, 19:16

Ok both the polls are finished. And it's clear we want a site on apolyton dedicated to the AU (www.apolyton.net/au) and we want a sub-forum under Civ 3 (Apolyton CS Forums > Civilization III > Civ3-Apolyton University). So this is now the thread to see how many peopple are interested in this and all ideas and new suggestions will be put in discussion and debate.

eric2075 · August 24, 2003, 19:27

I'm interested, in fact I just posted a question about this.

David Murray · August 24, 2003, 20:02

edit: but of course. why not?

Mountain Sage · August 25, 2003, 03:00

Of course! I will participate to all AU courses, seminaries, workshops, ideas exchanges and even games!

Mountain Sage · August 25, 2003, 03:11

The link is not working. it indicates 'you found a missing page!'. Now that i found it, I'm happy to report its finding to our NM.
Done.

MrWhereItsAt · August 25, 2003, 06:49

But of course the link doesn't work - this poll is to drum up the support needed to introduce such a page!

Maybe - always wanted to join AU, but am so busy with DGs.....

I know that! But it's good to find something somebody else missed...

Whenever I can spare the time I'll play the new AU courses.

Sheik · August 25, 2003, 17:10

I haven't ever been involved in the AU but if it had it's own site and subforum I would be interested.

TheArsenal · August 25, 2003, 17:40

Yep. If the particular course sounds interesting. Hope it gets rolling soon.

Tassadar500 · August 25, 2003, 20:16

Mr. WIA it really doesnt need to take along time. I am planning some courses that are quite short. Great so far 13 people.

GhengisFarb™ · August 25, 2003, 20:39

Au? Gold?!

There's gold in these dar hills! I'm in for the gold!

Theseus · August 25, 2003, 21:25

I am in, of course. Sorry for RL taking me away.

Dominae · August 25, 2003, 23:05

I've gone ahead and created AU209 (the "no Golden Age" course).

It should be up in a few minutes.

Dominae

Tassadar500 · August 25, 2003, 23:07

Thats great Dominae

TheArsenal · August 25, 2003, 23:08

Perfect timing. I was just about to start a new game.

Theseus · August 25, 2003, 23:10

Good... I need the relief from AU 208.

And Dominae always does a great job.

Let's play!

vmxa1 · August 25, 2003, 23:19

I am still slugging it out with a test game to try and pin down game crashes with PTW. At least Firaxis is staying with me, we just are not making much head way.

Tassadar500 · August 25, 2003, 23:29

What do you mean vmxa1?

Dominae · August 25, 2003, 23:44

Game up.

I know I always say this (and am usually proved wrong), but this one could be a toughie. When about to curse my name, just relax, breathe deeply, and thank your deity you're not playing Total War.

I have been debugging a crash that occurs every day when I play Civ/PTW. It started when I got this new PC. No other games are seeing this. I just puts up a Microsoft send the file msg. We have tried many many things. I ever disable al my ram except 128 MB for one test. They think it is in the sound card. So I have to keep starting games and playing for most of the day until blows. send in the latest events and start all over. I am starting to get a bit sick of PTW after all of these trials. I must have installed 10 times. They suggest something and want me to start with a fresh install.

Tassadar500 · August 26, 2003, 16:00

Any ideas/suggestions for the AU anyone?

vmxa1 · August 26, 2003, 18:12

No, but it should include having a GA.

Tassadar500 · August 27, 2003, 00:49

21 members so far. Pretty good. I have a few ideas. What about there was a type of thing that a newbie posts a DAR and some players who knows more gives them some tips on how to improve.

If so, good luck!

Hey!

That was an easy one!

I'll start on AU asap. Wish me luck, this time.

Theseus · August 27, 2003, 08:44

MS, yes, I'm still at it, and expect to be for at least another few weeks.

I'll start the new game this weekend, and alternate.

Hope everybody's having fun with it!

Looks good from the number of DARs...

Tassadar500 · August 28, 2003, 23:22

Assuming we do get another AU forum who will mod it? And what would the plans be for an AU site on Poly?

Konquest02 · August 29, 2003, 08:18

I think you should mod it, NM. Or might as well have a "backup" moderator to get things running around smoothly...

As for the AU site, I think one or two people should be in charge, not much more. I think it could include the past courses (course description and spoiler thread) and some of the ideas to come. A portrait of the fellow players would be nice. Everyone would have a little web space in which they can describe themselves and their playstyle. I think that would reinforce the community around AU...

Anyone willing to become my assistant?
